The safe and effect use of RF energy depends on many factors solely under the control of the operator. There is no substitute 

for properly trained and vigilant personnel. It is important that the operating instructions supplied with this or any other 

medical equipment be read, understood, and followed  

 

 

Precaution 

Use caution during surgical cases in which patients exhibit certain types of vascular pathology (atherosclerosis, aneurysmal 

vessels, etc.). For best results, apply the seal to unaffected vasculature.

 Hand-activation button (purple) 

 Cutting triggers (gray), one on each side (arrow shows direction for cutting) 

 Cable/cord 

 Connector (purple and white) 

 

Precaution 

The nano-coating featured on the original device is not present on this product. 

 

Adjunctive use of nerve-monitoring device is recommended during nerve-sparing procedures such as thyroidectomies, radical 

neck dissection and parotidectomies. 

 

Secondary hemorrhaging after tonsillectomy is a potentially serious adverse event. According to some reports, electrosurgical 

devices may be associated with a small increase in the incidence of secondary post-tonsillectomy hemorrhaging. 

 

 

Set-up 

Warning

 

Electric Shock Hazard

 – Do not connect wet accessories to the LigaSure system. 

 

Position instrument cords to avoid contact with the patient or other cords. Do not wrap cords around metal objects. This may 

induce currents that could lead to shocks, fires, or injury to the patient or surgical team.
